Move this to the Pit if you deem necessary, if only because of all the resources wasted in keeping him alive all these years. :dubious:
I hope he makes it till the first of the year.
I’ve never gotten a single point on the CDP.
Good, let’s hope he’s suffering.
Why do you particularly want him to live til the 1st of the year? I am not being snarky, I am just curious.
Death Pool in the Games Thread.
Oh. Ok, I got it now. Thanks.
The article says his next parole hearing is in 2027. I suppose it is bad of me to want him to recover enough to make it until then, so the board can tell him No again.

I’d like him to live long enough to share a cell with Don The Con.
Rest in Peace…NOT. More like Burn In Hell.
I hope Roman Polanski lives long enough to see Charlie’s death.
They could grant him compassionate release so he can die in a gutter somewhere.
Seriously, aside from the nature of his crimes, he’d never get parole because 1) nobody would give him a job; 2) nobody would give him a place to live; 3) for his own safety, it would be better not to release him into society; 4) he has no family nor any kind of support system.
Well, how does a parole hearing for Charles Manson really sate your particular inclination? He knows he’s never going to get parole, so he shows up, spouts random crazy rhetoric, demands his civil right to mug for the cameras and give his random rhetoric, claims to not be in prison (in his mind), says he just want more freedom in prison – outreach and other tutelage opportunities, instead of parole. Then the state mentions “family” and he gets quiet.
The only people who “win” in a Manson parole hearing are psycho-Civil Libertarians (of the sort who would call the ACLU are right wing fascists.) They maintain the state of California has had no right to hold him so long, given there was no absolute proof presented at the trial that he was an actual trigger man. (Or some such foo, I’m not really up on the specifics.) The sooner he dies, the sooner the “Now bear with me, I’m not saying Charlie was innocent, but legally speaking …” opp ed pieces can be written, published on Vox, or* Mother Jones*, or heck, New York Times (they like edgy). That can then be frothed over for a few days by Yahoo News and Fox News. And then forgotten.
It doesn’t. I would rather he had been executed decades ago, when he was originally scheduled to die, but that ship has sailed.
So “Hi, Charlie! Tell us why we should let you out!” followed by “PSYCH! We are never going to let you out - back to your cell! See you in five years!” is the best I can hope for.

Yeah. Then he can go to where ever it is that child rapists go to when they die.
I can only hope that Charlie Manson remain gravely ill, and in prison, for decades to come.
So, he’s in the prison hospital now-- but where was he before? He couldn’t have been in gen pop, or he would have been murdered in the bathroom by now. He’s a really little guy, wouldn’t be that hard to overpower. I can’t believe that someone didn’t beat Manson to death.
Oh, I can believe it. Crazy is it’s own kind of powerful, eh.
He didn’t even show up for his last two parole hearings. He knows he’s never getting out.
He would be taken in by one or more confused women. Even the Menendez Brothers have been able to find wives.
QFT. It’s how I survived two years in jail, and it has served me well many times since then. Nobody wants to fuck with the crazy.
The fact that he’s still alive at 83 proves there’s no justice in the world.
